HSE is carrying out a review of the Personal Protective Equipment at Work (Amendment) Regulations 2022 (PPER 22).

In 2022, the provision of PPE in the workplace changed when the Personal Protective Equipment at Work (Amendment) Regulations came into effect and meant that employers had to provide suitable PPE to all workers equally.

By completing this survey, you can help shape Health and Safety Executive ’s understanding of how the regulations are working, including any benefits or practical challenges you have experienced.

Review of CAR 2012: Asbestos Surveyors
